Climbing the World's 14 Highest Mountains : The History of the 8,000-meter Peaks by Richard Sale
This book has a lot of flaws, most notably the rather bad writing and the lack of proofreading. Still entertaining, though, and the photographs are gorgeous.

Broad Peak by Richard Sale
Sale richly deserves the awards he picked up for his attempt to lift the veil on what turned out to be Hermann Buhl's last summit climb.
